General Surgery
Breast surgery is the general name for surgical procedures used to maintain and treat breast health. These procedures are usually performed for breast cancer treatment, breast reconstruction and management of other breast problems. Here's what you need to know about breast surgery
- Breast Cancer Surgery: Surgery is usually one of the primary treatment methods in breast cancer treatment. Surgery may involve removing the tumour and examining the surrounding healthy tissue and lymph nodes. Procedures such as mastectomy (removal of all breast tissue) or lumpectomy (removal of the tumour and a small amount of healthy tissue around it) can be performed.
- Breast Reconstruction: Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is a surgical procedure that involves rebuilding or reshaping the breast. This can make patients feel better about their breast appearance and themselves. Reconstruction can be performed during or after mastectomy.
- Breast Reduction Surgery: Breast reduction surgery can be performed to reduce the physical discomfort caused by large breasts. This procedure is applied to alleviate back pain, neck pain, posture disorders and other problems.
- Breast Augmentation Surgery: Breast augmentation surgery is used to change breast size and shape. It can be performed with methods such as silicone or saline-filled implants or fat transfer.
- Breast Biopsy A breast biopsy can be performed to examine and diagnose abnormalities in breast tissue. This is an important step in the diagnosis of serious conditions such as breast cancer. Breast surgery usually requires a multifaceted approach and is tailored to the individual needs of the patient. Therefore, a detailed preoperative assessment and doctor-patient communication are important.
